When we did a search for a plumber in our area, we only found one plumber in Lynn, Massachusetts. So for now, until the network grows, you may want to weigh the energy differential between hiring a plumber who has to travel further to reach you versus your neighborhood plumber. But be sure to at least tell your local plumber about GreenPlumbers USA to let him or her know that you're interested in an eco approach to plumbing.
